Method

Burger Patty Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently with your hands until just combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each into a patty, about ¾-inch thick.

Cooking the Burger

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill or Skillet

    Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Place the patties on the grill or skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

  3. 5

    Add Cheese

    In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover to melt.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 6

    Toast the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, spread butter on the cut sides of the burger buns and toast them on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  2. 7

    Prepare the Toppings

    Wash and dry the lettuce leaves. Slice the tomato and onion into thin rings.

  3. 8

    Build the Burger

    Place a toasted bun on a plate, add a patty with melted cheese, top with lettuce, tomato, and onion, and finish with the top bun.
